Li Qingyu, who originally thought the interior of the black hole was a world of mountains, learned of the existence of the human kingdom.

I don't know whether to be happy or sad.

After all, in this arena where all races vie for supremacy, there's always a sense of inexplicable kinship among those of the same race.

It was as if the other person was a long-lost relative from another branch of the family.

Although we are not familiar with each other.

But it's impossible for them to be enemies.

But now, the system's task has inadvertently become an obstacle to this sense of familiarity.

This gave Li Qingyu a sense of foreboding.

"wrong."

Li Qingyu suddenly realized what was happening.

"You said the five-digit number was a clue found in the tomb."

"So... that human kingdom might not actually exist; it could very well be just history?"

“Hmm…” Number 88 pointed to his chin with his finger, “Indeed, that tomb looks very old and dilapidated.”

Whether the human kingdoms still exist is indeed unknown.

Li Qingyu fell silent for a moment.

Compared to that human kingdom, which has been destroyed.

Li Qingyu felt it would be better to be an enemy of that human nation.

At least....

All he had to do was destroy the altar and get the wish box; he had no intention of killing each other.

"Never mind, finding the main body is the priority."

Li Qingyu shook off his pointless daydreams.

"Once we find the original body and get another eight million evolution points, all the problems will be solved."

"If the other side really is a human, we can just get the wish box from the system reward and then give them back nine more powerful altars. What's the big deal about summoning a blue giant? If we're going to summon one, let's summon a red giant!"

As the sky turned from azure to dark.

The woods gradually descended into darkness.

Through the gaps in the tree canopy, Li Qingyu discovered that although the sky was dim, he could vaguely see nine blue dots that looked like the moon.

"strangeness."

"Even a black hole world has day and night."

"The key is that the daytime is almost the same as the daytime on Earth."

Li Qingyu had many doubts in his mind.

Unfortunately, without eyes, Crimson cannot utilize its ability to analyze all things.

Number 88 is moving forward very quickly.

Of course, it wasn't all smooth sailing, but because Li Qingyu had a clear goal, most of the obstacles and wonders he encountered were evaded by Number 88 at an extremely fast speed.

For example...

A lake that churns and boils, yet is as red as blood.

A red house with an eerie atmosphere.

A shadow dragging a large machete through the woods.

A red sedan chair floating in mid-air, moving slowly forward.

...

Through the initial incident involving the gourd-headed husband and the snake-tailed old man, Li Qingyu had already gained some psychological preparation for the dangers of this world.

But we traveled all the way.

Li Qingyu realized that he had underestimated the danger.

If the original body were still there, Li Qingyu wouldn't mind exploring them one by one.

pity....

Li Qingyu is currently extremely insecure, so everything he does is focused on finding his original body.

As for curiosity, let's postpone that for now.

.........................................

Wild forest, narrow path.

A faint blue flame, like a streetlamp, hung on the withered branches, illuminating the forest path, which was less than two meters wide.

A caravan of carriages proceeded safely.

The horse was tall and pure black, but it wore a bronze headgear, revealing only its lifeless eyes.

The vehicle was made of an unknown, jet-black wood, with strange characters carved on its surface like talismans.

"Your Highness, that man still shows no signs of waking up, and the knife stuck in his head cannot be removed at all. He is suspected to be a super-rank ghost soldier."

Inside the carriage at the very center.

The candlelight flickered.

A paper figure the size of a palm, kneeling on one knee.

Opposite the paper figure was a woman wearing heavy bronze armor but no helmet, revealing her beautiful face.

"knew."

The woman waved her hand, signaling the paper figure to step back.

"Your Highness, there is something I must say." The paper figure did not stand up.

"Our return to the capital this time was already fraught with danger, there's no need to waste energy on a stranger. With the ghost soldier in his mind, if nothing unexpected happens, this person's soul has already been scattered."

"Let me find a place to bury him."

The paper figure offered advice.

"Listen to me," the woman shook her head.

"It would be such a waste to bury such a handsome man. Since his body is still alive, it doesn't matter whether he has a mind or not."

A smile appeared on the woman's lips.

"I believe His Majesty will like it."

The paper figure then suddenly realized what was happening.

"It is because I am dull-witted."

Watching the paper figure quietly turn to ashes in the candlelight.

The smile on the woman's lips gradually faded, and her gaze drifted into the distance.

It was as if I could see a landscape from a very distant place.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking?"

"The Nine-Sun Ascension is a project that will last for ten thousand years. How can it be ruined by some strange occurrences..."

The voice faded.

The convoy gradually disappeared into the distance.

The horse looked extremely leisurely and slow.

In the blink of an eye, the convoy disappeared without a trace.

.....................................

After passing through many mountains, they finally encountered a tiger.

Number 88 has finally encountered an insurmountable obstacle.

Because this threshold is specifically for number 88.

At this moment, blocking the way for Number 88 are the other three egg men, excluding Mad Number 1 and Trapped Number 3.

Of course, this only applies to these three egg men.

Even though these three egg men had never witnessed the cruel methods of Number 88, they were not confident in taking the initiative to intercept him, given the miserable state of their leader, Egg Man.

Appeared alongside the Egg Man.

There are also ten other individuals with extraordinary presence.

Five of them had all four limbs, distinct features, and were dazzling and crystalline all over. Under the light of the deep blue moon, they also shimmered with a blue luster.

They were five diamond men!

The other five.

They are five penguins with a sun symbol carved between their eyebrows.

Penguins are at least three meters tall, much taller than the Diamond Man, and they look like a row of small hills when they stand there.

"I wasn't lying to you, was I...?"

"Humans, the overlords of the previous Civilization Competition, are now a rare species."

The second-oldest man, Eggman, introduced the diamond man and penguin to the man beside him.

It seemed to be not far away.

Number 88, holding the purple gourd, is not a life, but a commodity.

"Too little."

The Diamond Man was clearly very dissatisfied with the lonely Number 88.

"There's only one, how are we going to divide it?"
